This is bordering on a hate read this audiobook is so bad???? Every single dialogue line is followed by a paragraph of exposition so nothing flows. Repetitive language is such a pet peeve and constantly you see the phrases 'on the cusp' or 'what is ___ if not this?' There's a bit where Lily and Will are flirting and you see 'but what is college for if not this?' What are you saying. When are we going to steal stuff

You can't do borderline absurdist action sequences that require a suspension of disbelief on the level of Baby Driver and deliver it with a tone that demands I take it seriously. If I ever have to read another meaningless description of the sky followed by "What else is there but this?" I'm going to pop a blood vessel this book pissed me off in a way few things can

Urrg the concept has grown on me so much and I want to like this so bad but the writing style is already getting up my nose a little ::;";";' I'd watch a movie/TV adaptation in a HEARTBEAT honestly this really reads like a script with too many stage directions rn. let the action flowww I don't need three eight clause sentences in between each line of dialogue pleze
